Goals win matches is an oft used cliche but it was certainly the case in this game and Mullinavat’s ability to find the net was crucial on Saturday. Two goals from captain Michael Malone and another from Ger Malone were the vital scores as Mullinavat came out on top in an entertaining game. They now meet Wexford champions Fethard in the semi final on Saturday week.

| Brave Effort by Minors | Mullinavat's minors dream ended at the semi final stage when they went down by 5 points to a very good Lisdowney side. The ability to get goals proved to be the main difference between the sides but Mullinavat minors can take heart from an excellent campaign where they recorded wins against Carrickshock, Shamrocks and Barrow Rangers. With the vast bulk of this team available next year, the future is bright for this squad of players. Well done to all the players and mentors on an excellent campaign. Onwards and upwards.Vegas Abú

| Great win for Under 19's | Mullinavat's under 19 hurlers showed great spirit and determination and a huge amount of skill to see off the challenge of Kilmacow in the quarter final yesterday. Mullinavat's victory was all the more meritorius as they were without a number of players due to injuries and other committments. In fact, they only had the bare minimum of 15 players and so didnt have the option of any replacements throughout the game. The match was played on a very heavy pitch which made free flowing hurling an impossibility. Despite this both sides served up a thoroughly entertaining game.In the end the home side won by 2-19 to 2-10 and showed great composure to come from behind to run out convincing winners.
Mullinavat: Sean Fitzpatrick, Eoin Maher, Michael Walsh, Declan Duggan, Luke Byrne Doyle, Pádraig Dempsey, Ian Mansfield, Jake Morrissey, Robin Davis, Conor Walsh, Bill Dempsey, George O'Connor, Billy Delahunty, Mark McNamara, Michael Holden.

| Footballers Fantastic Effort just comes up short | Leinster GAA Intermediate Football Final Mattock Rangers GAA 1-14 Mullinavat 0-11.
Congrats to the Louth men today, but all at our club couldn’t be more proud of the lads effort also. We were hugely competitive all through, and it took a great save by the Mattock Rangers keeper to spoil a grandstand finish.
#vegasabu . The club history currently being worked on may require an extra chapter.
Well done lads, as already stated we are all proud of each and everyone of you.🖤🤍👍

| Under 21's just edged out in a thriller | Mullinavat u 21 team went down fighting in this first round championship game played last Saturday in Mullinavat against St. Martin's. Trailing by 4 points after a tough first half, the Mullinavat lads really took the game to their opponents with a well worked goal from Luke Byrne Doyle straight after the restart. From there to the end the two sides went toe to toe with the home side having to come from behind to level the game right on the stroke of full time at 1-13 apiece. Extra time beckoned and once again we went point for point with St. Martin's just a point ahead at the end of the first period of extra time. Points from Oisin Knox and Pádraig Dempsey saw Mullinavat take the lead but a strong finish from St. Martins saw them just take the lead and they ran out winners by two points at the end of a fantastic game. Great credit is due to both teams who gave it their all.

| Minors brave effort ends in Kilmacow | Minor Roinn C Championship Semi Final: Final Score Kilmacow 3-14 Mullinavat 2-12 Mullinavat minors went down fighting in this hard fought semifinal played in heavy conditions in Kilmacow on Sunday. After Conor Power scored a great goal early on, the floodgates opened in the skies with torrential rain, but the Kilmacow lads kept going and drew level shortly before half time. The score at the break was Kilmacow 0-8 Mullinavat 1-5. The second half was nip and tuck until Mullinavat struck for another goal from Conor Walsh extended their lead out by six points. The 'Vat boys had struck for home, but the Kilmacow lads had other ideas and put their heads down to put together their own burst. This started with a free from the 21 which caught Mullinavat by surprise, and nestled in the corner of the net, taken smartly by Fergal Suffin. From there Kilmacow drove on and when a long range free was stopped on the line, Ted Doyle got the finishing touch to see the green flag raised. Mullinavat can take great heart from their performance this year with a very young squad, most of whom are under age again next year. Well done to all the players and mentors on a great year's work.

| Minors and Seniors advance in championship | It was a good weekend for Mullinavat seniors and minors as they both advanced to the next stage of the championship.
First up were the seniors who showed great improvement from the drawn encounter with Graigue Ballycallan. Leading from the start they were 11 points up at the break having had the wind advantage. They had to withstand a second half rally from their opponents , but steadied the ship and were good value for their five point victory at the end. They now go forward to meet O'Loughlin Gaels in the quarter final on Saturday next. Throw in is at 1.00 pm in Danesfort.
On Sunday, the minors continued their progress as the easily accounted for The Emeralds in the quarter final . Leading from the start, they played lovely hurling up to the half time break. Despite losing their way somehat in the second half, they still had plenty in reserve to see off the opposition. They now meet neighbours Kilmacow in the semi final on Sunday the 13th in Kilmacow at 2 pm.

| All square in Callan | SHC First Round
Mullinavat 0-13 Graigue Ballycallan 1-10
Difficult conditions, a difficult first half for Mullinavat, followed by a second half revival, were the main talking points from our drawn game with Graigue Ballycallan earlier.
Conditions in the opening half were extremely trying for both sides, with several pockets of water at the dressing room end of the ground.Graigue got a fortuitous goal as a result of a dropping long range free from distance early in the game. By the time Ger Malone got our first point after almost 20 minutes, we were already 1-2 to 0-0 behind.
At the interval Mullinavat were 1-06 to 0-3 behind, and looking in real bother.
The weather improved for the second half and similarly there was an uplift in Mullinavat’s performance. So much so that we outscored the Kilmanagh men 10 points to four in the new half. John Walsh from frees was our main source of white flags, but now the half back line got on top, and Ballycallan had to bring county man Billy Ryan back to shore up their defence. He had been a real forward threat in the opening half.
We looked like edging the contest in fact, but a free by the accurate Conor Murphy on 33 minutes, saved the day for Graigue Ballycallan.
The replay will now take place next Sunday in Callan at 11.30 am with the winners out again versus O’Loughlin Gaels the following week.

| Club History to be Updated | Mullinavat GAA club are planning on producing a full GAA club history in Autumn 2020, covering all GAA activities in the parish, from the origin of the club in 1884, to the present day.
This GAA history will feature all codes, hurling, gaelic football, camogie and handball.
If people have old photographs, articles, programmes or such memorabilia, particularly items dating from the 1900 - 2000 period, we would love to hear from you.
35 years ago the club put together a history to mark the GAA Centenary year. A lot has happened since then, and this is where we appeal to everyone out there, who has any information or pictures of the past, news clips or stories, to help with the production of same.
At our latest club meeting a small initial committee was formed of John Joe Alyward, Tom Duggan and John Power. However if anyone out there has anything they wish to forward, all club committee members will be glad to assist, and all physical items provided will be returned to their owners once scanned.
Email contact can also be made to myself via :-
Pro.mullinavat.kilkenny@gaa.ie or johnpowerkk@gmail.com.
This is obviously a major publication for the club, and we look forward to the support of the Mullinavat GAA community and parish, in their assistance with 135 years plus of club history.
